One local woman says she believes staying healthy has given her a lifetime of good memories, and the motivation to keep making new ones.

Despite having arthritis in her knees, 81-year-old Betty Samara maneuvers a rigorous exercise routine every day: biking, walking, and weight training in her gym at The Village, a retirement community in Gainesville.

She might be retired, but in addition to staying active on a daily basis, Samara even plans vacations that keep her on the move.

Samara recently went on a cruise to South America, but didn't spend too much time lying on the beach. At 81-years-old, she went ziplining through the jungles of Barbados.
